The ruling on eating and drinking during the Fajr adhan for the fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q334: The questioner, A. K., from Riyadh, says: On one of the days of Ramadan, I woke up while the mu'adhdhin was calling the adhan for the Fajr prayer, so I drank water because I was very thirsty. I then intended to fast. Is my fast valid, and what is the time for abstaining?
A334: The time for abstaining is at the appearance of the dawn. If the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan at the appearance of the dawn, it is not permissible for anyone to drink or eat after the adhan has begun, because it is a sign of the appearance of the dawn. However, if the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan before the appearance of the dawn, there is no harm in eating and drinking; as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 622, 623 .

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bilal pronounces the Adhan at night, so eat and drink (Suhur) till Ibn Um Maktum pronounces the Adhan."
إن بلالاً يؤذن بليل فكلوا واشربوا حتى يؤذن ابن أم مكتوم
